I. Eligible entities:
Regular staff and faculty members of the Cagayan Valley Health Research and Development Consortium (CVHRDC) member institutes, medical and paramedical schools, hospitals and other health related agencies in Region II actively involved in health-related activities.
II. Proposals must be related to the PCHRD-DOST Health Research Agenda and Priority Areas:
1. Drug Discovery and Development:
Discovery of new drugs from natural substances (herbal and marine/terrestrial sources) which can be developed up to the pre-clinical stage for common infectious diseases and lifestyle-related disorders.
2. Development of Diagnostic kits for Priority Diseases:
Development of diagnostic tests (point of care and confirmatory) for priority infectious and lifestyle-related diseases for the early detection and/or prediction of disease and mortality, utilizing existing technologies that are off-patent or lapsed technology and/or novel technology.
(dengue and dengue-like illnesses; MDR/XTR TB; drug-resistant malaria; influenza-like illnesses leptospirosis; sepsis; myocardial infarction; colorectal cancer; stroke, diabetes mellitus; and breast cancers )
3. Genomic and Molecular Technology:
Use of information in the human genome in the design of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostic devices or products.
(e.g. biomarkers for early detection of diseases and target markers for treatment; personalized medicine; adult stem cells; biologics)
4. ICT for Health:
Development of user-friendly ICT solutions to accelerate the gathering and processing of health-related information for policy making and to deliver quality health care services.
(e.g. Public health surveillance/health intelligence systems; telehealth services and systems; interface for ICT-enabled devices)
5. Hospital Equipment and Biomedical Devices:
Development of affordable, safe and reliable hospital equipment and biomedical devices.
(e.g. ventilator/respirator; prosthesis; minimally-invasive surgery and rehabilitation equipment and e=instruments using optics and robotics)
III. Capsule proposal format:
1. Project Information:
i. Project Title
ii. Brief summary of research experiences and accomplishments of project leader and researchers that qualifies them to undertake the research work (without identifying the specific persons who will undertake the project so RMC/ERC can do a blind evaluation).
2. Significance of the Proposal
Describe the project rationale and significance of the proposed project to the current health-related needs of the country.
3. Project Objectives
Statement of the specific purpose to be addressed by the project on the problem areas identified.
4. Brief Methodology
Approach on how the associated work products, processes, information and services will be implemented, developed and acquired.
IV. E-Submission of capsule proposals:
Proposals must be submitted to the Cagayan Valley Health Research and Development Consortium (CVHRDC) Secretariat via electronic mail. Send your capsule proposals to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Eligible entities whose proposals have been evaluated will be notified accordingly regarding the results of the evaluation.
